Professional MendicRnts Who Live High
and Keep Accounts.
WEile thousands OF deserving poor
arc dsily dying Of slow starvation,
there sre in Paris gangs OF professional
beggars like the "sneux" referred to in
BersDger'5 song, says G Paris letter,
VINO are happy race. Only q few
days ago Chiff1nleT, who would not paw
HIS rent in tie Belieyiue quarter, YVES
elected from his premises by force, and
the huisser'5 Il Ell vere hustli o him
Il sum Of money In gold and silver,
amounting TO nearlY ESQ, rolled out
of his rags. There is also an old
story of Partisan blind beggar who was
stationed every dag ON one OF the bridges,
and 10 whom u passing Samaritan once
gave q gold louis instead OF a franc. Hav-
lug discovered mis- mistake, the eImssiyer
went back to the beggar, but found that
be had lett his post
After having made inquiries in the
nelghborhood, the person obtaired The
mendics9t's address, whittier he repaired
in the evening. He found the blind
man installed il 8 comfortable ville, the
door Of which was opened by a
toy seTva {, who said that her mas
tUrbed. The stranger, however, madc
known his errsnd, aud the beggar sent
down message by his man, saying it
was quite possible he mad taken q louis
for frsBc, but that he had not yet made
up his account for the day. Finally
the aims -giVeT was told to meet
the blind man on the bridge next day
and the error, il any, would be rectifed.
Only recently true narrative Of the same
sort, but with slight variation, was
told by NJ. Thiyet before the tribunal of
correctional police, where a man named
Samuel was being tried for begging
Samuel is about sixty-fOur years old, and
was in the habit of begging from house
% house.
When arrested he was found living in 8
comfortable apartment in the Rue Com
mines, Tor which he paid Go year as
rent. An account book was also found
III his rooms, IN which he entered
his takings. These in some cases
amounted 10 20 francs, or 10 shillings,
in one day. NJ. Thivet, the prosecutor,
SAID that in December last Samuel went
to his house and represented himself as
commercial Traveller temporarily out
of employment, having q wife and family
in restitution. He gave him two francs,
but seeirg him next day going Into
another house ne watched him and found
him begging. He then had him arrested
as professional mendicsnt, which was
proved by the account book found in
his rooms The tribunal ordered Samuel
to be sent TO Jail for two months.

CORRESPONDENTS AT DoNELsoN.
What One of this Journalistic Profession
saw After the Surrender of The Fort,
Chicago Times.


About mile from the landing l met a
person dilspidated, demoraliz4d, who,
bent with fatigue, wss limping aud hob
bling painfully il the direction Of the
boats. l recognized him as Andre Mat
teson, correspondent OF his o8u paper
in Chicago. He was worn out with hours
of tTamping over the battle gOund, and,
Withal, in @ state Of starvation. / divided
my Vsticns with him and he e,e
like 3 rsveuous wolf. l have always ielt
that my opportune meeting with him at
that moment saved him from destn
through starvation, and thus preserved TO
the journalistic profession one Of its most
accomplished members.
Knox was not at DOnelson, being then
on his third march from st. Louis to
Springfield, this time under the lead of
General Curtis. Richardson made narrow
escape from missing the battle. At Fort
Henry had managed TO get IT. letter
off on the first dispatch boat which left;
he missed the boat, and there was no
other TO leave Ia ten hours, tie was
equal to the emergency. He went down
the river on the first steamer, took the
/ train for New York, writing on the CsTs
IS he went. Although ten hours behind
at the start he made up the difference, 50
that our letters appeared on the same
morning in New York, ard by coming iu-
SANITY back he was IN time for the Don
elson contest.
Sunday morning after the surrender,
while going through the works, iuan
passed me, en- t lively trot, who carried
paper and pencil, and who halted o mo-
ment mere and there 10 jOt down g sen
tence, a glimpse OF 8 laundiced face
aud g solemn countenance revealed the
identity Of Coffin, the Boston CORE
spondent, who was doing the fOrtihce-
lions on the run. As far as | could
see him he kept the pace, ~ hill
and down, over 5reastwoIks, psrSpsts,
rifle pits, rocks, fallen tres and ali
other obstacles He ran with mis- head
down, ike en- animal which trails by
scent. II his report was st all cOnmen-
aurate in value with the speed developed
in getting it up it must have been thrill
ing beyond estimate.
Henry LOWE, the aItist for Frank Les
lie, was not on the ground, met him
couple CT days after al Cairo and fur
nished him material with which "UUr own
correspondent On the spot'' made O
spirited drawing of the battle field
Knowing personally m3ny Of the officers
who were engaged ID the charge against
the Confederate right, gave him such
details Of their appearance that he was
able to present some very lifeIIke faces in
MS sketch OF the assault; ard in this way
lie gained vast nOtoriety for the fidelity
of his pictures, thereby, in the estimate
Of the soldiers who followed Smith in his
gallant attack, proved himself to have
done the work under the very fire of the
enemy.
